Jazul, Fuel Masters confident of smooth transition under Alas

If there’s someone in Phoenix who knows how great of a coach Louie Alas is, it’s RJ Jazul.

Sharing a bond since their days in Letran, the 31-year-old couldn’t help but wax nostalgic over his history with the soft-spoken mentor, whom he has reunited with at the Fuel Masters.

“I feel younger,” he said. “Since college, we’ve been together and that continued in Alaska.”

Jazul has every reason to feel upbeat. After all, his partnership with Alas allowed him to be a part of the Knights squad which won the NCAA title back in 2005, while also a key factor in the Aces’ Finals appearances in the past three years.

“We’re all positive here, I know what coach Louie and the coaching staff can do for us,” he said.
